I agree about suggesting they set a beginning bid for each item. I did a quilt for a charity raffle for my daughter's organization, and when they realized the turnout was going to be low, she pulled the quilt back before they started selling the tickets. She saved it for another fund raiser event, but that one didn't go too well, either, so now that quilt is hanging on her living room wall!! LOL You don't always know how it will turn out. I am glad my DD didn't let it go for small $$.
Another time my BFF and I made 2 quilts for a pediatric hospice for their fund raiser, and they did silent auction style. We were not happy to hear that neither quilt made it to $100.
